Collins Street Medical Centre bids a fond farewell to our Practice Manager Extraordinaire Judith Wilson. Judith was with us from 2006 to 2012 and oversaw many quality improvements and innovations in this time.
In 2008 CSMC was awarded the Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited Top 20 Excellence Award from over 1500 Practices assessed nationally which was a terrific honour and reflected the wonderful work of Judith and our whole Team. In 2010 we were delighted to be awarded the AGPAL Quality and Innovation Award from a quality list of finalists including the Melbourne Medical Service. These awards reflected the meticulous work of Judith in supervising our Practice Team and tirelessly managing the Practice.
In 2011 she oversaw the exciting move to the 7th Floor managing the renovation and transition, including development of our new website and logo.
Judith has become a great friend and colleague and has been greatly appreciated by our wider community network including Specialists, Allied Health Professionals, Hospitals, The Melbourne General Practice Network and very importantly to our patients.
Flu Vaccine Season
- Category: Health Updates
- 22 Apr
A Flu Vaccination is recommended in autumn to allow time for immunity to be strengthened before the flu season starts.
The 2012 seasonal influenza vaccine contains the same influenza strains used in the 2010 and 2011 seasons. Although the influenza strains are unchanged, annual vaccination is recommended because immunity to influenza immunity decreases over time and vaccination is needed each year to ensure you continue to be protected.
Each year, the flu vaccine will protect against the three strains of flu virus which are most likely to circulate over the winter period. The 2012 seasonal flu vaccine protects against the same strains as the 2011 vaccine as they remain the most likely to occur here this winter. While the vaccine is the same, it is still important to get it again this year.
Even if you received a flu vaccination towards the end of the last flu season, you should still be vaccinated again before this flu season.
E –Health: National Personal Electronic Health Record

- 08 Apr
The Australian Government is introducing a national personally controlled electronic health record system.
2012 brings more changes, which should improve health care delivery with the national personal electronic health record, which patients can elect to register for in July 2012.
Our Practice has been chosen by the Improvement Foundation as a lead Practice for a National E Health Collaborative. This will ensure a smooth transition in July 2012
CSMC is ensuring we are well up to speed with the changes so we can transition to this easily and we would encourage you to register in July 2012. It will ensure the Health System can communicate in a coordinated fashion and will improve continuity of care. You can choose with the GP of your choice what information is uploaded to a central record which then can be accessed by nominated Doctors of your choice.
